About RowBuddy: Crochet Row Counter
The row counter made just for crochet — free, no account, no subscription. RowBuddy is a crochet row counter and stitch counter with one giant tap button you can press without looking up from your hook. Count rows, rounds, and pattern repeats with linked counters built for amigurumi, granny squares, blankets, and garments — and never lose your place again. SURVIVES A FROGGING Ripped back twelve rows? Frog mode rewinds your row counter and every linked counter together — and if you frogged too far, one tap undoes it. Every count you make is saved to your project history, stored offline on your phone, so your crochet count is always safe. Ripping back happens to the best of us; RowBuddy treats it as a feature, not a failure. MADE FOR ROUNDS, NOT JUST ROWS Amigurumi and granny squares are worked in rounds, and RowBuddy counts the way you actually crochet. Pick the Amigurumi preset and you get a round counter linked to a stitch-of-round counter that resets automatically every time the round ticks up. Set a target — "Round 24 of 36" — watch the progress bar fill, and get a gentle celebration (with a shareable milestone card) when you hit it. YOUR WHOLE WIP IN ONE PLACE Pattern notes by section with photo attachments, plus yarn, hook size, and colorway details on every project — so the dye lot you need to rebuy and the hook you switched to are right there next to your count when you pick a project back up after three weeks.
